Version control software allows a person to track changes to a project, encourages frequent backups, and allows editing from multiple locations. It can be a little difficult to use at first, but the common workflow is also quickly mastered. If you care about your project, why not version control it?

Git

The Git Reference is a little more in-depth, but also good for more in-depth learning about git.

github

Most of the code written in the lab is hosted on github, a social coding site. The code is mostly in the Prince Lab github organization. Make an account, clone the repositories, and start contributing!
